I've been right (and disregarded) over so many things that I've just given up.
What? Your sister isn't going to pay back the $10K you loaned her? I'm . . . shocked. If only someone had predicted that at least a dozen times! If only you had been counseled not to send her that money! If only -- No, of course you weren't wrong to do that, sweetheart. No one could have foreseen your sister being consistent with everything you know about her. And as your husband, I had a responsibility to try to protect you. I failed. Badly. Sorry, honey.
